Pray……..Take a look at my Wilton Castle…….two barndoor rudders….Len

PS……..What is this your building?…….I thought it was a joke at first!…….I suspect there must be a thread for it somewhere?

Hi Len,

Seems like the wash from the small paddles is not enough to reach the rudder. Does she turn ok in reverse ? – if so move the rudder to the front or turn the boat around !

Hello Len

I have figured out your cunning plan to win the "no cost boat race" those outriggers are pressurized cans so I think that you intend to make them into rocket motors….after all the rules only stipulate the size of an electric motor.

You clever old Hector.

Hello Bob, This is my Wilton Castle. Not yet finished. I was going to put in steam, but I think i may put in a couple of geared electric motors.

Hello Eddie

I have previously posted a few messages to you …but they seem to have been overlooked.

I have posted several pictures of my Wilton Castle……See my gallery……and also referred to yours and my Britannia yachts.

I do like the picture of the real boat, based at Ross on Wye, you posted……..any more?

Hi to Bob the Bewildered,

If you look in "Cost nothing Boats" you will see that this is a competition for Dover Model Boat Association members yearly challenge.

Hello Bob

Ah now I understand, sorry there was a glitch in my thinking process and it is so obvious now that you have explained it.

Sorry to appear a bit dim witted but I can be a little slow at times..it must be my age.

When will the great launching be?

The launch could be any fine day now………the only snag at the moment is that I`m embroiled in the shrouds and riggin`………and it`s not a pretty sight!……..but in general……she looks gorgeous!l
